Speed up exports with simultaneous processing in Final Cut Pro for Mac
You can speed up H.264 and HEVC exports by sending segments of your video to available media engines for simultaneous processing. This is called export segmentation.
When your project is approximately 3 minutes or longer, the “Allow export segmentation” option becomes available in the Share window and is selected by default. You can monitor the progress of simultaneous processing in the Background Tasks window.
Simultaneous processing is available for most share destinations, including the following:
Simultaneous processing requires macOS 14 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, or M3 Max. HEVC HLG Dolby Vision 8.4 is not supported.
